Situated above Budd Inlet, this home looks out across the bay and the lake. One can also enjoy views of the mountain and the Washington State capital building from the oversized Victorian windows. There is plenty of space for groups and family get togethers. Sleeping arrangements can accommodate 3 couples (6 adults) plus a kid-friendly bedroom with 4 additional twin beds (for 4 kids or adults). Fully stocked kitchen with a breakfast nook and an outdoor grill make short work of prepping great meals to enjoy our time away. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac with a private, fenced yard AND centrally located, you can enjoy the best of both worlds here: a secluded get-away with easy access to dining and shopping in the artsy and historic downtown Olympia and shoreline/lakefront trails full of wildlife viewing opportunities. This 4-bedroom, majestic, and whimsical home was one of the first homes built in Olympia in the 1800s. Originally built by J.M. Overhulse, a master plaster/mason, it retains unique architectural features. Lovingly referred to by locals as ‘The Purple House’.

Please note that this bed is quite high with the top of the mattress at 3-feet 2-inches above the floor and may require using a step or chair to access. Bedroom 4 (upstairs) has two bunk beds (4 single beds) with 4-inch mattresses, as well as toys and kids books. There are two full bathrooms. Bathroom 1 is downstairs and has a toilet, sink, and tub/shower combo. Bathroom 2 is upstairs and has a toilet, sink, and tub (no shower).

Such a great location, we easily walked into downtown Olympia each morning. The house was well stocked and managed. We love old houses so it was a treat to stay in a home with such history. Plenty of space and very comfortable. Highly recommend! ##### Sam A.

I was looking for a large vacation rental to accommodate a large group of new friends that would be in town for a meet up and the moment I saw the first photos of this majestic home I knew that I had found the perfect place. We were a group of 9 adults, however this home had many wonderful accommodations for children that would be perfect for large families or family reunions. From the well stocked kitchen to all the rooms, closet space, comfortable gathering spaces, huge dining table, and thoughtfully labeled supplies, this home really had it all. I cannot adequately express how honored we all felt to experience this wonderful historic home, so full of life, mystery and love. Thank you to our host, we could not be happier! ##### Amber M.

Well thought out accommodations. I love a coffee grinder and whole beans and there they were! The historic house is beautiful and spacious... we each picked a completely different and fun room. The host is great at communication which I really appreciated as we need to change our reservation dates twice. We would absolutely stay again in the purple house. ##### Gareth H.

Indoor games and books for kids as well as a wonderful outdoor space to play. Comfortable beds for all. Thoughtful touches around the beautiful, historic house. Walkable to downtown for coffeeshops, restaurants, and a park with a playground.The host was extremely responsive and accommodating, even going out of their way to find us an item that we forgot to bring.We would absolutely stay here again! ##### Amy H.
